I keep thinking I am going to get caught up, but so far I have only watched the season opener. The rest sit on my computer for eventual viewing.

Oh for fuck's sake, Mohinder, I think we know what you're investigating leads to. Go home to you oh-so-solid-priorities bride for eight weeks or so. In fact, listen to her. She's as ditsy as you are, but you really DO only make things worse.

OK, Claire and the foot were comedy gold. But what's with the "maybe that's what your body wants you to do?" didn't she learn last week that Samuel was a nut job? You might mention that?

So, can Claire Bear's blood heal Nathan now that we've learnt they didn't torch the corpse?

I'm glad we finally know a little bit about Samuel's motivation. I'm still unclear on his power -- it seems to be like telekinesis but it only works on dirt? And if he gets surrounded by too many heroes, his power will get uncontrollable and the earth will be destroyed?

He's Terra/Geo Force.

I thought he was displaying some other powers earlier on, but I can't remember what they were. Is the ink stuff all in the ink? Because he's used it on more than just Lydia.

He seems to have done a dramatic 180° over the less than eight week period--how long ago did we first see him? He looked sober and focussed at the funeral of his brother. Who I'm guessing he killed in a fit of pique.

How is it that the show can have a scene of Mohinder in bed and he's not shirtless? I object heartily! And why won't anyone on this show stay dead? I don't wish death on Mo, but a kevlar vest? Seriously? Oh, Hiro. Of all the ones to save in order to foil an evil plot, Mo is so not the one.

The Sylar in Matt in Nathan (now maybe a part of him in Peter? Who knows?). Y'all, it's just wearing me out. I'm glad to have Nathan back, and those two boys sure do pack a whole mess of pretty, but I'm just over the entire Sylar thing.

Claire/Tracy was fun, especially the foot. (HRG's reaction was priceless) I suppose of all the NikkI/IkkiN personas, this is the one I've liked the best. That's not saying much, but there you go. I did think power panic attacks was kinda funny.

Watching last night gave me no desire to go back and see what I've missed in the episodes I didn't catch. The carnies are still the most interesting part of the show. Chief Carnie Dude is just magnificently creepy. I really like that actor a lot. I'm still not sure if he knows that he'll destroy the world if he gathers enough heroes around him or if he just thinks he'll get exponentially more powerful. And I still don't know how he made that ink into a fist that almost choked that knife guy to death early in the season, since his power seems to be more about manipulating earth/rock/stone/whatever.

Maybe he's manipulating the minerals in the ink. Like Magneto used to manipulate the iron in his blood to fly. @@.

@@.

Indeed. I still enjoy him, though.

Does Mo still have the super strength? I missed the episode where they brought his character back, but he didn't seem to do anything overtly super last night, so I thought maybe he'd lost it.

I don't remember him losing it, and Peter stole it from him fairly recently, so I was thinking he still had it. But I also don't remember him getting a girlfriend, so I'm way off on Mohinder trivia.

I'm glad he's back, if only for the pretty. And I don't see why Hiro couldn't have just jumped him forward twelve weeks in time or something.
